It's super scary in the fog
Thankfully we returned unscathed yesterday
Good clear visibilty and calm waters were the order of the day for us.
It gives more confidence having twin engines and a full compliment of ship to shore vhf radio, flares, man overboard saftey equipment etc on board.
Always pays to prepare for a passage over Breydon and to let others know when you are crossing should you fail to arrive at the other side.
